Only two cruises are scheduled to depart out of Philadelphia next year, down from more than 30 a few years ago.

The Delaware River Port Authority's executive committee approved a plan Wednesday to end the terminal lease on January 1. The agency would save $18 million in renovation costs by ending cruises, $627,000 in operating expenses and more than $2.2 million from from the termination of the lease and closure of the facility, the report said.
